Chapter 314: The Final Battle on the Top: The End of the Old Era
The battle of Marinford came to an end, with all the navy and government personnel participating in the battle.
In addition to the rebellious Garp, there was Sakaski who was spared by Arthur.
Almost no one survived.
They and the Seraph weapons were all frozen firmly in this extremely cold purgatory.
Become, the remains of war.
"In fact, there is another way to achieve the eternal life you are looking for."
The ice dragon looked at Arthur's continuously burning vitality and suddenly spoke to him.
This made Arthur stop and be stunned for a moment.
The ice dragon is a frost demon, the true form of the demon.
In the ancient times of this world, there might have been many living demons like her.
When he thought about it, Arthur wasn't surprised that she knew about this kind of thing.
"Tell me, what other methods are there? I just happen to have another method that does not require the surgery fruit."
Arthur continued to move forward, taking one step at a hundred meters, crossing the space gate of the soul cage and traveling across the glacier.
"Do you have any other ideas? Then tell me about them first." The Ice Dragon was curious.
Eternal life is a curse for most ordinary people.
But for those who are ambitious and seek to become stronger, it is a priceless treasure!
"Pure gold, a technological product that can stop people from aging, is somewhere in the ocean of the Grand Line."
Arthur told her his plan.
“Hmm…” The phantom of the ice dragon held up his white chin and thought for a long time but still couldn’t understand.
After thousands of years, humans have evolved to this point?
Arthur kept staring at her with his sidelong eyes, looking like he had never seen the world before.
"Okay, tell me, what can you do? There has to be a price to pay for swallowing up all my domineering energy, right?"
There is another way to achieve eternal life right in front of him, and Arthur doesn't want to give up.
Once you die, there is nothing left.
No matter how wonderful your life experience was, the moment you turn into dry bones...
What else can you feel?
"Haha~" The ice dragon laughed in amazement and teased Arthur: "What's the solution? If you merge with me, won't my eternal life be yours?"
Hearing this, Arthur's expectant expression instantly lost its color.
“Ice Dragon, I’m not in the mood for jokes now.
You just resurrected and are making me happy like before, I understand.
But my heart no longer has the warmth it once had."
The Ice Dragon listened carefully to Arthur's words and looked into his eyes.
It seems that it is indeed different from twenty years ago.
She used the power of extreme ice to freeze the beard around Arthur's jaw and mouth into tiny popsicles.
Then he waved his hand and crushed it.
A new face that is extremely mature, no longer the young boy from before.
But he looks very kind, not at all as cold-blooded as he seems to be.
"I told you long ago, Arthur, demons are transformed from humans."
The Ice Dragon observed Arthur's surroundings and thought.
Wherever he went at this moment, it was shrouded in darkness.
"Is this your nature? Do you only believe in darkness and don't believe in the flattering ways of human civilization?
Absolute realism, not believing in anything unreal? "
Soon, Arthur arrived at the entrance of Marinford and looked at the Gate of Justice cut in half.
All members of the Blackbeard Pirates suddenly appeared in front of him.
The seriously injured and dying golden lion Shiki was placed on the back of a sick horse.
It looks like the injury has been completely healed.
"Teach." Arthur greeted Teach in a cold voice: "How is Shiqi's injury?"
However, at this time, Teach observed Arthur's overall changes.
With the blood on his body and at the corners of his mouth, his fear of him was greatly reduced, and he roared:
"Who knows! It's obviously not good at first glance!
Where's Whitebeard? Where's the Tremor-Tremor Fruit? Arthur, where's the plan you promised me before?"
The other members of the Blackbeard Pirates were staring at the collapsed Gate of Justice.
Arthur glanced at Teach coldly at this time:
"Whitebeard is dead.
The Tremor-Tremor Fruit was taken away by me.
The navy was destroyed.
As for the plan I promised you, there was a sudden change, so I changed it a bit.
Do you have any other questions? "
When Teach heard what Arthur said, he was so frightened that he stood there in a daze.
I no longer dared to have any bad thoughts about Arthur.
Even the new crew members behind him, who were dressed in prison uniforms and recruited from Impel Down, trembled in their hearts.
Arthur mentioned the destruction of the navy in such a light manner.
Arthur sensed the fear in Teach and his crew and walked right up to Skye.
Looking at his seriously injured and weak appearance.
Newcomers like these were not worthy of Arthur's attention.
Among them, there was one person who caught Arthur's attention.
That is the warden of Impel Down, Shiryu of the Rain, who also joined the Blackbeard Pirates.
It seems that all this is destined. As long as you don't interfere with the movement of the timeline, everything will develop according to the original timeline.
At this moment, Shiqi opened his heavy eyelids, looked at Arthur, and cursed:
"Arthur, you damned boy, if it weren't for the injuries you caused me during the Battle of Edvor...
How could I not be able to beat a group of newbies?
The scar on my chest still hurts till now...!"
"Can you hold on, Ski?" Arthur asked him calmly.
Shi Ji used his blood-curdled hands to slowly pull out the two knives from his waist, Mu Ku and Ying Ju.
"I'm tired... I want to rest for a while. As for my ambition to rule the world... I'll tell you after I wake up...
Take these two knives, they are gifts from me.
I don’t know if I’m hallucinating… I just kept feeling Roger’s domineering aura…
What a nostalgic guy.
I really want to... go back to the time when I met that guy..."
Shiki trailed off, his breath fading away with a long sigh.
His eyes lost their luster and turned pale, and his life was forever frozen at this moment.
"Dead...dead!"
"That Golden Lion... the Golden Lion Shiki who was as famous as Roger... is dead?"
"Really? I thought he could make it."
The newly recruited crew members of the Blackbeard Pirates all showed expressions of disbelief.
I witnessed the end of a legend of an era.
"Are we saying goodbye to this era just like that?" Arthur reached out and touched Shiqi.
Instantly, a frost and cold air froze him instantly.
The air around Shiqi quickly solidified, forming a grave.
After doing all this, Arthur continued to walk forward.
Tiqi suddenly reacted and asked him:
"Hey, since you don't keep your promise, our cooperation is over. Arthur! Senior!"
"No, Teach, I spared all of your lives." Arthur said to him again.
"What? You gave us a way to live?" A man in prison uniform and with two horns on his head suddenly spoke with disdain.
Hearing this, Xiliu, who knew how terrifying Arthur was, felt a chill run down his spine.
He took the cigar from his mouth and shouted at the man:
"Hey, Abarro Pizarro, are you crazy? Do you want to die?!"
"He provoked us, and even though he was badly injured, he still dared to speak so arrogantly!
With so many of us, how could he still be in his current state?!
If I can kill him, then everything that happened in the Navy Headquarters will be fine..."
With a click, Pizarro's words suddenly stopped.
A heavy breath suddenly enveloped his whole body, causing his huge body to collapse instantly.
His face and body were pressed tightly against the ice, and he was pinned there, unable to move.
“What is this… It hurts… My bones are going to break… Aaaaaah!”
Seeing this, Teach hurriedly looked at Arthur, knowing that this terrible domineering aura was caused by Arthur.
“Arthur, the younger generation is ignorant, please let him go for my sake!
These guys are the ones I hand-picked in Impel Down."
He hurriedly persuaded, but he didn't expect Arthur to just keep walking forward without turning around to look at them.
It can create such a terrifying suppressive force.
A hideous scream broke the silence, and Arthur used his domineering power on him, pinning him to the ice.
Countless ice spears condensed in the air and suddenly stabbed towards where Pizarro was.
"People always have to pay the price for their arrogance, Tiqi, is your face very important to me?"
Teach could only watch as the evil king Asaro Pizarro was stabbed into pieces by Arthur's terrible power.
There is nothing that can be done to stop it.
Even if he activated the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit, everyone would fight him again.
There is a high probability that you will be crushed.
Before, on the Shadow Isles, Arthur had easily crushed his entire group without even using his abilities.
Not to mention now.
He also knew that this was Arthur's way of teaching him a lesson and shocking him again in front of the newcomers.
"Remember to take care of your own people. I'll use you as a scapegoat next time. Goodbye, Tikki."
Arthur took Enelu away, and Shiki's sacrifice made him feel...
In this battle, almost all the people of the old era died.
This is also the end of an era and the beginning of another.
